Anthropic (ANTHROPIC), an AI startup backed by Amazon (AMZN), announced on Wednesday that it plans to invest $50 billion in developing computing infrastructure and data centers across the U.S.

The AI startup said that the facilities will be custom-built for Anthropic, designed to optimize the company’s AI workloads and accelerate research and development. It added that the project is expected to create roughly 800 permanent jobs and 2,400 construction positions, with facilities coming online throughout 2026.
